Working away in the garage. Had to commandeer the Mrs. parking spot due to the cold.
I have to get up early now to warm her car before she's off to work though...

I installed some floating anchor nuts on the rudder pedals and the instrument panel.
Played around with some carbon fiber wrap that turned out nice. The sides of the center
console are also wrapped. Instrument panel will be as well.
The pedals and handles are polished and painted with three coats of satin clear. I like the look of the
bare metal against the carbon fiber.
Lightened the seat a bit. I'll be welding up some attachments and bolting the seat in. No zip ties.
Brake lines, parking brake, aluminum tubing and AN fittings are from Aircraft Spruce. The lines are
covered in a 3/16 nylon sheath.
Parking brake handle made from a piece of dowel and two sections of an old aluminum fishing rod and epoxied together.
Sanded, contoured and painted a satin black.

Back to work!
